A sextic surface is an algebraic surface which can be represented implicitly by a polynomial of degree six in 
, 
,
and 
.
Examples of sextic surfaces include the Barth sextic, Boy surface, cube surface,
daisy surface, Eistüte
surface, heart surface, Hunt's
surface, kreisel surface, nepali
surface, and sine surface.
